multi tasking season. modern message because if we do too much, we paid it all wrong. we messed things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage. humans and multitasking watch. now on youtube. v. w documentary. the sense in the commercial have of south africa, a lively neighborhood, famous for its business take to, to cells. and of course the something st is. and now adding a bit of creativity in the thriving hot spots is on his feet, a venue that positions itself as an imaginative cultural platform. but 1st, we learn about the beautiful art form of gimme a call and go in room and find out more about the 18th. the vin is architectural vietnam league from lindsay. they'll call then we'd sat too often.

they'd be, say, the 1st black female conductor to own an orchestra, well balancing life. as an architect, i'm having them tenga, and you're watching as 3 megs the if it are you sure to day a multi disciplinary visual artist who expresses his design philosophy through most studios which explores the themes of oddity in spaces and objects, enjoy doing shirts, and these designs do challenge conventional loans by purpose, series known for making like does very tv boards like designs. they don't see every the, like i say like around here originally the more than. right?

so kind of like me make you like make more like minimum of these like forms or designs of like does ritual like objects kind of thing. it all started with the missing chair, and the ticket chair remains the fed dues, trademark to date the piece is made to order each time you and is truly unique. how just needs a table for myself. those guys excited adults are the same and i need these kids or each other to go with this. right. and my 1st task was to go for a single chair. right? that's to be called local fishing lighting. and i want done nice based on looking dog, the like and nice much for this like table, which i'm very excited about. i mean, i just like designed and i, i don't know what size. so i came in by exactly. bo, i, i'm like you, i'm good thing because it's like inspired by the shape of a bicycle side to its middle to mahogany

and that's hardwood. so he's like a very, very like strong for them. like to drink that very firmly done so very well done. this is the 2nd piece of on need and also he's designed to look to look nice like is cultural. right. so yeah, kind of was like sculpture all but also not just of nice also like we'll kind of all right. but also coffee table. you said doing is work struggles between art and design with some influence of them in the mountains. and he also incorporates a lot of odyssey and his creations, making him a non conformist when it comes to design and expands as an artist was like as a someone to create stuff, being able to like the kids. like what's people who would like,

who would be interested in, as opposed to being actually like seeing you. this is why i wanted to do you guys. so that's why it's the great expense. i'm very like, specific about like my work or even like how, how i push my work cuz i don't want you from like a p o view of life. i'm trying says like fits into like people's like perception of me your, of what like on it's has to be. so it just does for me, is like a very strong driving force. after having studied architecture and environmental design at the university of lagos, said, doing, found it almost studio in 2019. so the goal of exploring the design and execution of spaces and objects that embrace or the see his love for the art in arts begin early at a young age for, you know, for the kids i used to be like into, like, like, or cartoons and stuff like that for like was of ours and kind of like you see why

it was just like stuff that was drawn to when i'd say don't just become an artist. i'd say that like i wasn't going, i was just going to need is again and i was going to stuff like just based off like what people expect to see. the fist started his career as a painter and drawing sketches in 2019 he found it almost studio which focuses mostly on creating od furniture pieces and mini sculptures from clay to these are made from the on get me from key on the fired. so when you filed in disagree makes them feel more like a mix than most so it makes them feel more like a mixer on his clay sculptures. so he says, expression is a multi medium party. and his emphasis on odyssey which exhibit his imagined native creativity artistic inspiration is not about play and see, but creating fresh ideas that draw attention and pushing boundaries on

the internet. the nicest business have a popular entertain a ad business. men say something is adding a bottle of culture into the city with artistry, a venue that is passionate about 2 ratings. dispos experiences showcasing the best incentive magic musical and the chico odd j. lovely to help you. and after that you make nissan. so cool. you all the, you are the lead thing. got and because the and, and, and tripping. yeah. and you're right. why did you choose this particular venture? you know, artistry is a, it's a cultural platform in art. i did it behind it was to create a platform that we could celebrate that we could showcase that we could preserve people stories. so this place was, is here to, to celebrate the arts and to bring people together as a community. well, that's okay. well, and which leads me to my next question. why did you manage in particular cinematic

theatrical musical and calendar yachts here, as you dive into the industries you see so many of the young artists that have these massive dreams. and i think that that was the inspiration was about how do we create a platform that can be a platform for where you can come with your art and get it, give an opportunity to showcase it in a very unique way. obviously, from a corporate perspective, you know, it also allows itself that the venue allows itself to, to create a cool experience where people can host they own web shops, meetings, love that within the space. what made you move into the kind of new recei? i'm actually just an on trump and yeah, and i think one of the things that makes life interesting for me is the curiosity around all capabilities. you know, and you know what, i know you are passionate about speed when i actually what you story is with your families, when you actually come up with the rest of the fees on the spot. and i love that.

yeah. why are they going to catch up a little bit later on? and i want to experience this won't be at home. give me call go is traditional over london odd. featuring 5 in june metrics patches painted on wooden boards, the using natural pigment and cold. yes, this is. did you know that cold and can be tended to beautiful and meaningful works of art? that's exactly what they're on. these do with the art of amy. don't go then. i started by sending by so sending for women for making them and we have a bullying and then bringing them via cookie guy. nice guy. i've done this idea that i can start from cup to them. absolutely. definitely interested in 2013. i didn't cooperative of q the have that makes me go to me now that that a combo is an ancient warranties on the phone that has its origin to the eastern part of rwanda. these exquisite geometric designs are signature features,

one these are and while it may not look like it's in the end, they start out as a rather unusual role material coda looks like that must be good. you guys, you guys are going to be di when you're making the team. we go to, can you take the ash as possible to remove the activities? because it is often that actually is been mixed. come back into workshop. the co done begins its transformation from waste product into us. i have just mixed cold down with the ash. so the cement of down is mixing done with the ash. it becomes sticky. so when i stick on the piece of board, it actually has when the next step is to think about the design, i will create to the designs on the piece of board that we're not scared to. then

start creating tests. you know, we put them in a, we're not here. i'm through, i learned that well, every time you make a design order is make sure that the piece on the board that you use to create your design design would have to be centered. so the north side is over sized sized because the next you will draw 2 lines that communicate the design of the house. that the so i mean the right now i can sort of plan to count on that of the padded 0 as soon as you know who to use it. i know who you have to put the pressure on it to ensure that when the sun shines, it's not going to affordable. i'm guessing that you have to that to make sure the tool with 2 fingers so that you can smooth them to down the most of the hands. what

wonderful, 390 is it? what am i to do? you want metric puts in such a zig zags, spirals or squares us to known, and must with amy gumble and hold cultural significance. some patents represents prosperity, fatality protection or gratitude. others may depict historical events of to run these heritage septic investments that work for the who is an invention that was made for this time of the king of the eastern region court to meet you one to 2 of the, to the with his father's house. so he did this using co done gosh, unless the naval parts are to i wonder what ended up in the position to do it less than when i went inside the house and started to make different designs. i use it, i find it up with it's up to that to stop to the exploring on how you can use

colors for the one. i do not use that code anymore in google that we used at the time to finish the interior. yeah, i can see in order to apply the white color, i'm full ting, tinker, cadillac, she's used eugene, not the painting, the black or color that she found or to quote little bomb bomb. it got to don't mix to call. you can do that. so i think joe cool raffle, that's who in the movie kind of used in canada when done in amy go mean for example, kind of know what kind of to me someone soon as you know the on the ground, like many traditional art pieces in jolanda, the finished amy, going to pieces are made by a group of artisans organized into cooperative. they are out as

a welcome source of livelihood for them and their families. the age lives out of me go, has moved over a few 100 years from during the hucks of the past to the striking into a difficult pieces the ox a day. never the less they continued to send to the secret symbolism of the count, considered a central part of one. these culture and life are also seeing that our form it is a definite, must have no j as a performing artist yourself. where would you say african music is right now in terms of influencing international cultures and trans. we had a point where not only of people taking notice a lot more of what is always, but i think we also are in a space where we are feeling. so proud and so confident in what is ours, so that we showcasing that i have come to know you as

a person who is interested in the calendar re space as well initially music but now colored every space. you've gone to have a cookbook yourself. been on various tv shows, how just that experience or journey influence how you to rate it, the risk to on part of this failure at the heart of everything, even within the music. i'm just a curious person that's trying to explore the things that i love. so a lot of what you each year uh, specifically at the restaurant is from my house. it's a lot of this stuff to my wife and i dig during and then we bring it yet. so our team and we kind of creatively conceptualize everything and then try apparently you have an interesting story of how you found your shift. yeah, well a lot, a lot of my team i would say like nearly 90 percent of my kids and come from my instagram and i use of people that have been following what i've been during that uh i guess to an extent, if i may say, inspired by what i'm doing, we know you as a musician, so it wouldn't be right to in this without having

a little something from you. i'm going to be a backup dancer back up done. so get away, get away, get away. is so low on uh, do a little kid a way with you. oh, they see j. thank you so much for the time. this is such an incredible space. thank you. thank you for giving me your time. you know, i always said that time is our most precious resource. so it's, and you say she did says, and how is that the 18th vendors architecture vietnam, the address building in times of climate change and was to rated by canadian scottish architect lives the local, who transformed it into an architectural future laboratory advocating for radical rethinking the curator of the 18th architecture of being late in venice, leslie, the code has set the stage for african architecture at this. he is event to me. i

think it has always been the place of the future has always been the testing ground for the future in a way. and again, it comes back to the point that we are really, we're simultaneously the world's youngest continents on the world's oldest confidence. even everybody on this planet came from africa at one point. so we have this quite complex relationship close to the past, then to the future of the hop, the participants from africa and the african diaspora. very challenging. what is traditionally considered a european event. it's also exposing exclusive isn't and structural racism with no explanations. the right wing and telling government denied entry bases to 3 gun named q writers who were invited to participate in the be, you know, a little teams that equal to the team based and across who were denied jesus to attend the next submission to which they have contributed the time, ideas, work, and labor for almost the 1st time in my life,

words fail me. leslie lowe was born and done the and grew up in both gonna and scotland. she's to divide to time between gone and europe. those coaches influence her work and views 20 years ago. she designed her residency and across, made partly with clay breaks. even then it was ahead of its time depending really on the way you live, you have to a less oh, great to extend control of your environments. and i think the trick for many, you could have modernizing african cities, is how to adapt a way of life, a way of working a way of living that was really designed for different kinds of climate. for this one, mostly narco believes africa can achieve this. the content and stuff is from instability, but it's also undergoing rapid change, perhaps because the effects of climate change have forced people to react. mario is

tamara is chair woman for architect to heritage and sustainability at the edge of derek university in switzerland. coming from new jersey, she is acutely aware of the importance of tradition for the future of building in a country where it's 45 degrees celsius. when you build in cement it's 50 degrees inside of the building versus if i use earth, which is abundantly available. so cheaper number one, number 2, it means that inside one is 45 degrees outside, it's 35. that's just common sense established names like the book you know, of age and then start architect debate or fancies. can they have left the way the print skill architecture prize lower yet, works on projects around the world, but mostly in africa where he and powers communities always using local resources to him. the challenge lies in the ability to adapt. because i think the scene just as an architect, i think it's great because i see it as an opportunity to create something different

and it's a song. the anomaly of architecture is the creative hub for new ideas and approaches. before being appointed curator of the 18th event, as the non layer of architecture in 2021. leslie loco had just the co found that the african futures institute in, across these 2 a closely linked in terms of values and ideas based on providing for the community . even though it headquarters in gone at the moment. the idea is that it will spread that they will be institutes across the continent. i'm interested in architecture as a real engine for society and training people who can think about society and culture in the environment. and really interesting way, leslie narco is not only an architect, but also a world wide, best selling also to writing and designing a building. not separate calling. it being an architect, say to me is a right to somehow be anomaly is the perfect bringing together of to, to wells growing up and gone as my 1st window onto the rest of the world was 3

books. while listening, like i may not have the time to plan building so self anymore, views on architect to emphasizing the african perspective are exemplary position at the venice. be natalie has enabled her to challenge traditional western architectural views on how to build sustainably in the future. the lives the local or 10 inches, the dominant waste and perspective in architect to aiming to shape the future by incorporating the innovation and agility of the african continent often said, pizza and architect from to hand. this vague is a trail blazer. not only you see the 1st black woman to own a classical orchestra and choir, she is the youngest person to achieve this remarkable feat.

the offensive b, c, is a true blazing type african woman who is participating her way to great success. crowned by a composition fit for queen the my career highlights so far as in working with a double orchestra, female players. and then we doing a re imagination of alicia keys is if i and got you for a big metrics. global program which has cleaners on it. so i mean it was important because again queen charlotte and again of the 1st black queen. so it was very important for me to do not only use attorney, but as a photo. just remind enrollment of who we are, which is who own queens and not only is offensive the 1st black woman to conduct and own a classical orchestra and choir. she's also the youngest person to do it,

is that i started learning how to say the trunk said when i was 12 years old. and then that just evolved in my life for orchestra. quiet is and then the evolution of that is we subsequently wanting to stock my own choir and then just putting some musicians together. and then one day i just had an interesting piece orchestra that i had to learn how to conduct the my journey. again, as a young girl growing up and over by me, and then i was always taken to try. so my mom would take me to all the shows me things that she would have. and then i just want it to be one of the boys cuz growing up in the salvation army, you see a lot of brass bands and all that. so one day i just store a bunch of musicians and then that's when it hit me. i was like, okay, the has to be someone who's going to conduct us, but i never seen anyone who looks like me. so i was like, okay, if it's just me who's going to do this, then i have to learn how to do it very well. the people to see the guy

comes to see it down and i'm, you know, deal a lot of conductors that i was following at the time. right? so this is like facebook, instagram, most of were said no to me and some did not even respond. right? so it was club includes and who is the head of the even i want to orchestra and he's also one of the best conductors in africa. so i just reached out to him. it was like this. and this was my story. can you please teach me how you to do this thing? and then i met him one day and then he has told me everything that i know. so i have a very great, i'm conducting mentors towards the everything that i need to know. a lot of clients that we have seen, so if it gets to us being it's called a whole b in for some of us it's really difficult because the extended approach. so if i get into quiet the don't p. so in consumption, really open dose was because we get paid very well. the classical music in architecture wouldn't usually make sense as disciplines that strengthen each other,

except for this extraordinary mind. architecture is probably the only korea that requires you to break something apart in order to put it together so days, an ounce of you have to constantly work in a space that you constructs before the construct stripe. so in music i looked at my musical career with my musical world like that where they so many things that are often not well put together. right. and that's how i'm able to, to rate the music that i'm able to create. because i looked at it as it's not well put together. so offensive joined us in 2017 and offensive. solicit us with building a to scale models of the building, which we lays the costs. we have a nice, a catch a at our office space. um, so she was part of that process to kind of take this massive space that we standing in, bring that down to a kind of tangible and hold the full size the

i spend. because i don't use the same principles that they use in the task with music space. so that allows me to have like a limitless mindset and limitless like creativity because i'm not really doing what you've done in school. so hence why i break all of these various because that one is jack, suppose the world of cast cool music. what's very, as well as pop, hip hop and jazz. so yeah, it, it really comes in how and because of, and this architecture that allows you to break things apart in order to put them together. so to b, t has conducted a way to the supreme disciplines of architecture and classical music to enhance representation and open doors for other black women. in previous, the white male dominated space that said from us today, we hope you enjoy today's show as much as we did. don't forget to take us out on d, w dot com, forward slash at re max for more until next time. good 5,
